MORTICERS
AC16BM Morticer 550W power unique to AC16BM
Cutting square holes is a joy. This bench top morticer has the huge benefit of both lateral (side to side; Y-axis) and longitudinal (front to back; X-axis) movement. Hand wheels make manoeuvring a workpiece longitudinally and laterally easy. The table and headstock run on dovetail slides and both feature adjustable jib strips ensuring years of accurate use. The work clamp can clamp tapered work such as table legs. A gas strut counterbalances the weight of the head and motor. A quiet and cool running alloy bodied motor provides ample power. Stops for both vertical and horizontal movements allow accurate repeat work. Supplied with drill chuck and key, chisel bush and service tools. N.B. takes 3/4” shank chisels only. The optional riser block raises the headstock by 50mm for morticing taller workpieces.

Diamond Cone Mortice Chisel Sharpener Sharpening a mortice chisel significantly improves performance. We can recommend this pair of specially made diamond coated cones for most Taiwanese and Japanese mortice chisels and Veritas square hole punches. A coarse grit cone gives an initial grind, followed by a finer honing cone to create a sharp even edge. Instructions
Mortice Chisels - Set of 3 Every good tenon needs a good mortice Here’s a set of 3 metric mortice chisels and bits, intended for use in craft rated machines that accept 3/4” shank chisels. The set comprises 6, 10 and 12mm sizes. These are good quality chisels and bits, which will cut a clean square hole in soft and hard woods. Craft Mortice Chisels - Set of 3

Use the cones in a drill press or your morticer if you have a chuck adaptor (a handheld drill is neither suitable nor safe). Clamp the bit vertically and securely, or drill a hole in a block of wood the same diameter as the chisel’s shank. The chisel must be held firmly and perpendicular. Fasten the coarse cone in the chuck and align it with the chisel so it centres exactly in the end of the chisel, do this BEFORE switching on. Running at low speed (150 to 250rpm), gently lower the cone until it just makes contact with the mortice bit. Carefully grind until you obtain a clean surface around the entire bevel. Replace it with the 350 grit cone and repeat the process, lightly honing the inside bevel. Use a fine flat stone lap the sides of the bit to remove any burrs.
